Abstract
This study examines the constraints faced by urban farmers in southeast Nigeria. 280 urban farmers were surveyed using questionnaires. Data analysis, including principal component analysis (PCA), revealed three key constraints: infrastructural, socio-economic/environmental, and institutional. The study recommends proactive policy responses and infrastructural support to enhance urban agriculture's potential.
